README

What's this?
============
This directory contains a LaTeX2e package for an easy and NFSS2-compliant
use of the eiad font family created by Ivan A Derzhanski under
LaTeX2e.
Obviously Plain-TeX users, etc, cannot use this package, but they
should know how to load fonts with the \font-command anyhow...
What is NOT provided here?
==========================
The fonts themselves are NOT in this directory. You can find them on
CTAN in the directory tex-archive/fonts/eiad/, so for example in
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/eiad
or ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/eiad
and mirrors of CTAN...
So you need the 6 *.mf-files contained in this place.
What IS provided here?
======================
There are two additional mf-files:
Fbf10.mf
Fr10.mf
and two files to make the style file and the documentation:
eiad.ins
eiad.dtx
(and this file (README) of course...).
What are these files?
---------------------
In the documentation of the eiad-fonts there is described how to make
two additional mf-files.
They are easy to produce, I admit, but this step might prevent someone
from using the eiad-fonts. And since I had to make these files for
using the fonts myself anyway, I think I should provide them here. So
I have done some of your work, made your life easier ;-) and I am using
7kB of CTAN space more...
In the 'Installation'-part of this document is described where to put
these files...
With the files eiad.* you can easily produce the style file and the
documentation, as described in the following...
Installation
============
It's easy. But I will explain it in full detail...
So you got the 6 *mf-files for the eiad-font-family created by Ivan A
Derzhanski (see above for finding them, if you haven't), the two
*mf-files provided by me, eiad.ins and eiad.dtx. Good.
In a TDS-conforming TeX-installation you now have to put the 8 *mf-files
in the directory
$TEXMF/fonts/source/public/eiad
If you have a TeX-installation which doesn't produce *tfm and
*pk-files on the fly, you have to produce them by hand.
On some TeX-installations (like teTeX, for example) there are some
map-files used by MakeTeX* for putting the produced *tfm and *pk-files
in the correct subdirectories.. So you should add
-----------
@c Gaelic fonts: eiad font family
eiad10 public eiad
eiadbf10 public eiad
-----------
add the end of the file $TEXMF/fontname/special.map.
Now run the file eiad.ins through latex:
latex eiad.ins
You get a file called
eiad.sty
Copy this in a TDS-conforming installation to
$TEXMF/macros/tex/latex/eiad/
or (since this is only one file) to
$TEXMF/macros/tex/latex/misc/
If you use a database for finding your files (like ls-R in teTeX) you
have to update it now (e.g. run 'texhash' for teTeX). Do this first
because we already need eiad.sty for producing the documentation...
Now you can produce the documentation:
latex eiad.dtx
If you want a change history in the docs, now run
makeindex -s ... -o eiad.gls eiad.glo
where ... means the full path for the file 'gglo.ist'. With teTeX 0.4
you can say
makeindex -s `kpsewhich tex gglo.ist` -o eiad.gls eiad
Then run the file twice through latex again:
latex eiad.dtx
latex eiad.dtx
The resulting file
eiad.dvi
you can put in the TDS-conforming directory
$TEXMF/doc/latex/eiad
or (since this is only one file) in
$TEXMF/doc/latex/misc
Using the package
=================
To use the package you say
\usepackage{eiad}
in the preamble. The commands of this package are described in the
documentation (see the 'Installation'-part for getting the
documentation out of eiad.dtx.)
